NORRISTOWN  No injuries were reported in a two-vehicle accident that sent one car careening off the road into a nearby business and shut down the eastbound lane of the 300 block of West Main Street for approximately one hour Monday afternoon.

According to an officer on the scene, a vehicle was attempting to make a left turn onto West Main Street from Astor Street when it struck a second vehicle in what the officer referred to as an angled accident. Once struck, the second vehicle veered off the road and into the storefront of Berks Insurance and Notary, causing extensive damage to both the large windows and the brick base of the structure.

As a result of the accident, both vehicles were deemed to not be in driving condition and had to be towed away.
